La Just Electronic Body Protectors
TNZ is very proud to announce that the La Just Electronic
Body Protector system will be used at this event for all belt, weight
and age divisions, this includes colour belts. La Just will provide the
chest-protectors and foot/sock sensors. Competitors must provide all
other safety equipment in accordance with the TNZ NZ Open Information
package and WTF competition safety equipment rules. Please note
however, that all colour belt competitors will now only wear the
shin-guards (the same as black belts) as the instep will be covered by
the La Just foot/sock sensors. Please also ensure that your members are
aware of their shoe size as prior to their match they will need to
report for their equipment and give their shoe size at that time.
We ask that all coaches and instructors ensure your team members are
aware of the above information prior to the event. TNZ Looks forward to
welcoming you and your team to the 2009 NZ Open.
Yours in Taekwondo
